@russ Hi Robin, I cut my kerfed lining to 0.5mm thick. You have to be very careful with it but it is very bendy. I reckon I'm not far from 0.5mm and it probably is bendy enough for going round the...

@robin Hi Robin, I cut my kerfed lining to 0.5mm thick. You have to be very careful with it but it is very bendy. 🎶🙂🎸🙏

Back grafts and braces glued on now. The back is made from three pieces, so grafts at the two joins rather than one central graft. A bonus of having two back grafts is that they stopped the braces sli...

I've had a go at making kerf lining with my version of a jig that was in a video that @swepri posted a few days ago. My first attempt kerf lining isn't as bendy as I'd hoped it would be. The convenien...

Thanks @swepri. Satisfying experience - although soldering is a constant headache. Trying to do a Caballo Tono Ligero thinline with this one.

@cafebrouge hey, nice guitars! Similarly, I can't help with advice on specific groups, but you will find a lot of helpful knowledge in the members of this forum. It might be worth floating your questi...

@liebe really impressive, Dan! Thanks for reaching out. Love that pickguard - was that your design? I like the Tono Caballo ones so might stick with for the Caballo Tono Ligero HH thinline I'm going ...

@cafebrouge cheers! It's a partscaster I put together before I got into building from scratch. I bought the finished body and scratch plate from the same chap. Have fun with your build!

@cafebrouge What problems are you having with soldering? - maybe we can help make it FUN! top tip: Keep your tip clean and shiny and tip top. top tip 2: Use quality '60/40 solder' not the usual modern...

@markbailey lol it is shit isn't it! Lead free for a problematic life! @cafebrouge if you're on FB there's some not bad groups, UK Amateur Guitar Builder and Luthiers Club are a couple. For the...

@boo Use a forstner bit to bury the heads in the bench. But yeh, that things a bit of a beast lol

@boo I'll pm you pics of mine in IG, I like using regular 1k matt spray, car stuff. Pics are in here too somewhere but not sure where lol

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment...... 🎸🙂🎶🙏

The X braces are glued on now, one at a time, I won't carve them yet, wait until I'm ready for assembly. The repaired split in the soundboard isn't quite invisible but it isn't obvious either, so I'll...

@peter-c-f I've got the last transverse brace glued across the break now and its looking okay. I'll get the X braces on tomorrow, that'll put some strength into it and I'll can breath again.

Aah, so THAT was that odd noice this morn' (thought it was a helicopter flying over). Hide glue should help give a strong bond and still have some flexibility for the vibrations of the board to work...

I've been gluing on grafts and braces and all been going well. I got to the point where I didn't have enough long braces so made another one. And then this morning, disaster, some you in Scotland migh...

@rocknroller912 Glad to see you are doing an acoustic Robin, it’s looking good so far. Its been a long term project but I've managed to spend some time on it lately. Its a whole different game fro...
